Cincinnati, toledo, buffalo, and all across the midwest. There are literally almost a dozen. Its exciting work and its important work and its really focussed on kind of national and regional and local economic policy. Great. Im going to follow up with you again, steve, for a minute. Director rodriguez said that absent federal action, congressional action, we cannot do it all. So, with employmentbased visas, you cant create them or other types of visas. What strategies do you use to overcome those types of challenges . Sure. Make no mistake that the biggest economic boost would be a more sense kal and higher performing federal immigration policy that works for local economies. And maybe even as localized, clearly the challenges that we face in detroit are very different than long beach or new york city. And our skill sets and needs are very different. And probably one size fit all policy might not work as well, but absent that, were trying to do everything we can to take advantage of th

And i think Something Like executive action where you have Community Organizations with memberships that are going to be interacting with people about this, its an opportunity to capitalize on that for membership growth, for, again, building the legal key political power to then move for a larger scale Immigration Reform and really strengthening that.
